How to Install Syncfusion PowerPoint Web Installer

14 Aug 20268 minutes to read

Overview

For the Syncfusion^® Essential Studio^® PowerPoint product, Syncfusion^® offers a Web Installer. This installer avoids downloading a large package upfront by streaming only the required files. You can download and run the online installer, which is small in size, and the Web Installer will download and install the Syncfusion^® Essential Studio^® products you have chosen. You can get the most recent version of the Syncfusion^® Essential Studio^® Web Installer from the Syncfusion Downloads (latest version) page.

Prerequisites: A stable internet connection is required throughout installation, and the installer must be run with administrator privileges on Windows.

If you are in a restricted environment without reliable internet access, use the Offline Installer instead.

Installation

The steps below show how to install the Syncfusion^® Essential Studio^® PowerPoint Web Installer.

Step 1: Open the syncfusionessentialpowerpointwebinstaller_{version}.exe file from the downloaded location by double-clicking it. The Installer Wizard automatically opens and extracts the package.

The installer wizard extracts the syncfusionessentialpowerpointwebinstaller_{version}.exe setup file, which displays the package’s unzip operation.

Step 2: The Syncfusion^® PowerPoint Web Installer’s welcome wizard will be displayed. Click the Next button.

Step 3: The Platform Selection Wizard will appear. From the Available tab, select the products to be installed. Select the Install All checkbox to install all products.

If you have multiple products installed in the same version, they will be listed under the Installed tab. You can also select which products to uninstall from the same version. Click the Next button.

If the required software for the selected product isn’t already installed, the Additional Software Required alert will appear. You can, however, continue the installation and install the necessary software later. Common prerequisites include supported .NET runtimes (for example, .NET 6.0 or .NET 8.0) and the Visual Studio build tools.

Step 4: If previous version(s) for the selected products are installed, the Uninstall Previous Version wizard will be displayed. You can see the list of previously installed versions for the products you’ve chosen here. To remove all versions, check the Uninstall All checkbox. Click the Next button.

From the 2021 Volume 1 release (v18.1), Syncfusion^® provides the option to uninstall the previous versions while installing the new version.
